Hello Hello to all Hivians and indeed anyone reading this.
When it comes to colours black is a very powerful and meaningful colour in its own right.
Today I am sharing some black birds...
and something else..
It turns out that almost all my photographs with black are birds!
Rooks Raven Crows and even blackbirds are all black.
This wee chappy I saw in a tree yesterday.
This is the something else I mentioned earlier.
Yesterday evening I attended a preview of an art exhibition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our local art gallery and war memorial.
You can see that I have taken the inlay from the back of the chair as my entry.
Fife the county in Scotland where I am from has a rich history of coal mining.
The furniture was carved by Thomas Williamson who was a stone mason from West Wemyss.
His patrons were the influential Wemyss family, who owned land and coal pits in the area.
In 1855 he created the set using Wemyss Parrot Coal.
Wemyss Parrot Coal is also known as cannel coal and has a texture similar to marble but is challenging to carve.
When I first saw I, I did think it was black marble!
The image shows a swan and the French phrase "JE PENSE." This phrase translates to "I think" in English.
I think it is a no brainer that I should use that as my entry picture!
This post though is a cockup!
I was making it tonight to enter in a colours of life contest , I went to the contest post to see the rules and found it had fluffing closed earlier today!
Well no matter, I had my second shingles vaccination yesterday afternoon so was not quite right earlier on today!
That is my excuse and as we are all Silverites in here that is what I am sticking with!
But seriously the coal table looks like black marble and is fluffing gorgeous!
All images and ramblings are from me, the mad Scotsman TengoLoTodo unless otherwise stated..
